[postgis-users] Error: "Precision reduction requires GEOS-3.9 or higher"

[Marco Boeringa]

Hi Sandro,

Thanks for the answer, but this just raises a question, why was the 
official PostGIS 3.1.1 as available in the

"http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/focal-pgdg main"

repository, not compiled with GEOS 3.9.0, if it is supposed to be able 
to take advantage of new GEOS 3.9.0 functionality?

Of course, I understand GEOS 3.9.0 was not available at the time Ubuntu 
Focal 20.04 LTS was launched, but neither was PostGIS 3.1.1. Yet PostGIS 
was updated to 3.1.1 on Focal through the PostgreSQL repository for Focal?

Or would a PostGIS 3.1.1 compiled against GEOS 3.9.0 cause issues on a 
default Ubuntu Focal install with just GEOS 3.8.0, due to incompatibilities?

Sorry if I am rambling and this doesn't make sense. Although I am slowly 
getting to know Linux and Ubuntu, some of this packaging and repository 
stuff is still a bit of a mystery to me...

Marco
